re: #151 Occasional Reader

Being in existence…(?) Actually 4 points (from BBC):

1) American support for the coup that unseated a democratically elected Iranian government in 1953
2) American backing for Saddam Hussein in the Iran-Iraq war
3) Support for the “Zionist regime” [Israel]
4) Launching the invasions of Afghanistan and Iraq under the pretext of 9/11 - an incident as questionable as the Holocaust, he suggested.

According to the BBC Amad’s tirade was more raging and full of vitriol (more so than most)…
